WASHINGTON — Two government officials tell The Associated Press that U.S. intelligence agencies added the Boston bombing suspects' mother to a federal terrorism database about 18 months before the attack.

Officials say this was done after Russia contacted the CIA late in 2011 with concerns that the now-dead suspect, Tamerlan Tsarnaev (TAM'-ehr-luhn tsahr-NEYE'-ehv), and his mother, Zubeidat Tsarnaeva (zoo-bay-DAHT' tsahr-NEYE'-eh-vuh), were religious militants about to travel to Russia. The CIA asked that Tsarnaev and Tsarnaeva be added to a classified intelligence database called TIDE. Being on the database does not automatically mean the U.S. suspects a person of terrorist activity and does not automatically subject a person to surveillance, security screening or travel restrictions.

The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly about the investigation.

Of course she is politicizing this, and blaming everything on Obama. That's a given. I don't agree that the Tsarnaev family have no rights. At least that's what that shining beacon that she mentions purports to represent.

But I fully agree that if you willingly move to another country, you'd better start loving the shit out of that country. Fuck your home country, fuck everything you've ever known, because if it wasn't shitty you wouldn't be trying to escape it.

"hey look on the bright side, at least it's below the knee. meaning her life won't really be impacted that much, she can still run and do all the other things she loves. who really cares about their shins/feet anyways? she should be thankful she's not getting raped and beaten everyday like in the middle east or getting her genitals mutilated like in africa. at least she lives in a country where she could be treated for such a wound and survive, hell in north korea they'd probably just let her bleed out and die. you decadent american pigs don't know how good you have it and should be thankful everyday that uncle sam is watching over you. "

sorry, just pre-emptively throwing out the ekul bullshit so he doesn't have to

And if the various charities pay anything like they did for families of 911 victims, they will get millions from donations and likely be set for life.

Boston manhunt 'skipped over the area where bombing suspect was found' - even though it was just 400 yards from where he had abandoned a getaway car

Boston bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev was discovered after a day-long manhunt by a homeowner - and not by authorities - because law enforcement officials had skipped over the street where he was hiding during their intensive search.

Police did not search the area of Franklin Street where a Watertown man found Tsarnaev hiding in his boat - even though the neighborhood was part of a 20-block area that was supposed to be the focal point of the search,Bloomberg News is reporting based on interviews with 11 residents of the area.

Authorities have not yet confirmed the residents' accounts.

David Procopio, a spokesman for the Massachusetts State Police, told Bloomberg that the issue is under investigation.

News of the potential oversight comes as a shock to many, especially considering Tsarnaev had abandoned a getaway car - which he had used to flee from a firefight with police - just 400 yards from where he was later found.

'A lot of people’s lives were put in danger because someone in charge wasn’t doing his job,' Watertown resident Sue Lund, 61, told Bloomberg. 'People could have been killed because after the lockdown ended everyone came streaming out of their houses and suddenly we were in a combat zone.'

Officials had originally said that the area where Tsarnaev was hiding was not contained within the 20-block search center, but Boston's police commissioner later confirmed that it was.

Authorities said they are investigating the details of the manhunt and the decisions made by law enforcement officials that day.

'A very detailed action report will be completed to assess and evaluate that day’s operations,' Procopio said.

(Boston, MA) -- The Boston Police Department reports three additional suspects have been arrested in connection with the marathon bombings. There's no information on who the suspects are. Only two suspects were identified in the days immediately after the bombing. Tamerlan Tsarnaev is dead, while Dzhokhar Tsarnaev is in custody.
